Oh no. Humor to stop suicide?

Suicide Thought Stopping

Thought
stopping is exactly what it sounds like: stopping the thought process that
could lead to a full blown craving.What
works is different for different people.At the first inkling, some patients literally say “Stop” out loud.It can get to the point that that’s enough.One other way to stop the bad thought process is by having the suicide person and or addict
literally snap out of the unhealthy thoughts.The suicide person and or addict wears a rubber band on their wrist,
and when they catches their mind wandering from the present, snaps the band.

My Purpose
is hwew ia visual humorto help remember how to stop unhealthy thoughts. I can't draw so you must do the visual humor part. Here is some help: In my opinion the book “Clean”by David Sheff is full
of such thought inducing visual cartoonnable humor that can be made into helpfull examples for suicidel and drug addicts.

When
I was trying to explain “Thought stopping” to three other drug addicts at our lunch time
table, Fernando interrupted me before I got to use the rubber band as an
example.Fernando said; let’s make a teaching cartoon that could show how to
stop unhealthy thoughts. We could show a cartoon addict smashing himself in the
head with a hammer and his brains fall out.

Brains about to
be falling out.

Not
wanting to discourage, what now has become a lunch table brain storming agenda
I complimented Fernando for his thought provoking contribution. So thought
provoking was Fernando that I literally could feel my own brain firing in a
death defying sequence. A sequence of smashing wisdom literally gush forth not
only literal contents.While sleeveing my mouth I addressed our round table of
brainstorming addicts once again,“We could have another cartoon addict pick up
the smashed out brains and stuff them so deeply into his own ears he now has
two brains!”

George,
who is sitting next to Fernando, enlightens us by proclaiming this two brained cartoon
addict has become so smart that he decides to wear a rubber band on his wrist,
and when he catches his mind wandering from the present, snaps the band, rather
than a cranium smashing hammer to stop the unhealthy thought process leading to
full-blown cravings.

George
continued on about some stress reduction neurotechnology revolution stuff and
Microsoft’s Kinect something-another whatever, where a wrist band could pickup
and send the brain instructions without the hammer.

No hammer !

John,
the forth participant of us brain stormers announced a rumore that Apple in
China has made a neurotechnology mind communication watch with a shocking
twistoflex wristband.

This idea can make money and save us me from suicidel thinking and drug use.

How you ask?$$

Amazon
has a plan to monetize fan fiction.Kindle Worlds, in which writers can self-publish and sell that writing
with the sanction of the original copy right holder.

The
idea is that everyone, including Amazon, will profit.The fan fiction authors will get 35% of net
revenue for full-length books:Amazon
and the original copyright owner will split the other 65%, in terms that the
company will not disclose.

Kurtz says, “I would
caution anyone looking at this to be aware that overall this is not anywhere
close to what I would call a good deal. The thing that can be said about it is,it’s a better deal than you would otherwise get for writing fan fiction, i.e.,
no deal at all.’”
